To all whom it may centrist.

Be it known that-.1, GEORGE A]. Mixers, a citizen ofthe United States,residing at rrlbany, in the county of Albany and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Mountings for Velocipede-Pumps, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention relates to mountings for velocipede pumps, that is, to means'for sup,- porting the velocipede pump within the tubularframe of the machine, in such a man her that the pump is carried safely and held firmly in position while the machine is in use, but is alsoreadily accessible "and easy to remove for the purpose of mflatmg the tires of the velocipede. For the sake of simplicity, I show merely one representative form of my device, which, in this instance, is used upon a bicycle or a motor cycle;

Reference is made to the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, in which like letters indicate like parts.

Figure l is a fragmentary side elevation, showing my invention. Fig. 2 is a vertical section through the same. Fig. 3 shows the velocipede pump removed from its mounting and readyfor action. Fig. 4 is a detail view, showing in side elevation the seat post and parts immediately associated therewith.

Thetubular center post, or vertical stem of the velocipede frame appears at 5, and is provided with a portion 6 of enlarged diameter. Fitted into this portion is a seat post 7 of tubular form. The pump barrel or body portion of the pump appears at 8 and normally extends through the tubular seat post 7. The enlarged portions 6 of the tubular stem of the frame is split and provided with a pair of lugs 9. Extending through these lugs is a bolt 10. By turning this bolt, the lugs 9 are moved toward or from each other so as to hold the seat post 7 firmly in position, or to release it, as desired.

The seat post 7 carries an annular head 11, the latter being provided with a pair of 0ppositely disposed straight edges, one of which is shown at 12. The head 11 is further provided with an extending portion 13 carrying a spring clamp 14 of substantially U form. A yoke 15 is provided with astem 16, the yoke and stem together having the general form of a fork, andbeingqmounted uponia pivot bolt 17 which extends through the adjacent portion of the annular head 11.

is the fork is swung upon the bolt 17 as a center, the stem-16 is brought into and out.

into the position indicated in Fig. 3, and can this cross barbeing normally in the position then be rested upon the ground and engaged by the operators foot.

A flexible tube 24 is connected with the pump barrel 8 and is provided with a threaded nipple 25 for connecting the pump with thetire to be inflated.

A cap 26, milled at its outer edge as shown. is threaded internally and screwed upon the adjacent end of the tubular seat post. By'unscrewing the cap 26 through which projects the pump plunger 27 having a handle, the pump barrel can be disengaged and the entire pump thus removed, as may be understood from F is. 3. i

The saddle is shown by dotted lines at 29,

' and is mounted upon the stem 16. The operator, byswinging the seat 29 and yoke 15 in a contra-clockwise direction, according to Fig. 1, and disengaging the cap 26 from the threaded portion 18 of the seat post, can remove the pump from its mounting, and that, too, without'otherwise disturbing the seat post.

In order to replace the pump, the operator merely drops it back into position, turns the cap 26, and swings the seat 29 and yoke 15 back into normal position I do notlimit myself to the precise mech- 105 anism shown, as variations may be made therein without departing from the spirit of my invention.

Having thus described my invention, what j by the projectingportion of the head, a

I claim asnew and-desire to secure by Leti ters Patent is as follows:
